I used worsted weight yarn with a 3.5mm hook. Just make sure you're using a smaller hook than the yarn label recommends, and you should be ok. Trust me, the star looks better without bits of fiberfill poking through ;)
You don't have to join rounds, working in a spiral works just as well. I wrote this pattern when I was still very much new to crochet, and chose to join rounds because I thought it would make it easier to get the eyes to line up after. I've made a couple of stars recently without joining the rounds, and actually prefer it that way. I'm leaving the pattern unchanged though, so you can pick whichever method you want. If you still want to join the rounds, futuregirl made a very good tutorial on how to do it seamlessly - the end result looks so much better.

ch2
Round 1: 5 sc in second ch from hook. Join with sl st, turn (5sc)
Round 2: ch1, 2 sc in each sc around, join with sl st, turn (10sc)
Round 3: ch1, *sc in next sc, then 2 sc in next sc* repeat around, join with sl st, turn (15sc)
Round 4: ch1, *sc in next two sc, then 2 sc in next sc* repeat around, join with sl st, turn (20sc)
Round 5: Repeat round 3 (30sc)
First point:
Row 1: ch1, sc in next 6 sc,
Row 2: ch1, sc in each sc across, (6sc)
Row 3: ch1, sc2tog, sc in next 2 sc, sc2tog (4sc)
Row 4: repeat row 2
Row 5: ch1, sc2tog twice (2sc)
Row 6: ch1, sc2tog, fasten off
Second point:
Row 1: Attach yarn next to base of previous point. (Pull up a loop, ch1, sc in same st). Sc in next 5 sc.
Row 2-6: Same as first point.
Repeat second point 3 more times, do not fasten off after last point. Ch1, then sc around entire star. Join to first sc with sl st.
When you have made two star shapes, sew eyes on one of them, then whipstitch together, stuffing with fiberfill as you go.

My kid is a Mario fan and would love ot make something for him
I don't know what happened there, but it works now :)
When I sc around the outside of the star, where do I stick my hook in? I'm a little new to crocheting -_-;
You stick your hook in wherever it will fit, just try to make it even on both sides of the points :)
Thanks for the prompt response! I'm trying to whip this up really quick as a present for my husband (it has to be fast otherwise I end up telling him what I'm working on) I really like your blog! :)
Thank you :)
I have the same problem with gifts, I always want to tell the recipient about it right away!
I just tried your pattern out for my very first amigurumi with great success! Thanks for posting the pattern!
That's great to hear :) I hope you'll be making many more amigurumi, the world needs more pretty around!
Hei igjen!
Det er noen som spurt om svensk oppskriften på denne. Jeg håper det er ok?

Det er helt greit :)
Svensken min er mye, mye verre ;)
